Ariana Grande gets Billboard mag honor

The Sweetener chanteuse hands down has my pick for Album Of The Year at the Grammys this cycle. It’s her most personal and fulfilling work to date. She’s also Billboard magazine’s Woman Of The Year for 2018.

“Ariana Grande is a star on her own terms, never bending to any particular musical trend or path in the industry,” says Ross Scarano, Billboard’s vp of content. “Certain in her convictions, she consistently stands up for herself and her decisions in a world that often isn’t hospitable to that sort of strength in young women. She’s got guts, she’s making some of the best music of her career, and she’s absolutely deserving of Woman of the Year.”
